King Township secures total of $2.7 million in naming rights for the new, multi-use recreation facility, slated to open in September which will go towards future needs and maintenance of the facility.
The new multi-use recreation facility will now be known as the Zancor Centre for the next 15 years, following a generous $1.5 million contribution from Zancor Homes. Ten-year partnerships have also been secured for the naming rights of the ice pads, aquatic centre and athletic centre:
- JTF Homes Arena: Ice Pad 1 (home rink of the King Rebellion Junior A Team)
- The Country Day School Arena: Ice Pad 2
- Municipal Maintenance Athletic Centre: the artificial turf fieldhouse with running track, and a multi-use community space
- Aqua Tech Solutions Aquatic Centre: the six-lane lap pool and leisure pool
In recognition of its namesake and the organization’s volunteers who have served the King community since 1917, one community room in the Zancor Centre will be named the King City Lions Community Room and another named the Gord Orr Community Room, after a charter member of the club.
With the opening of the new ice rinks, user groups of the King City Lions Arena will relocate to the Zancor Centre. For more information see here.
Glad the Lions and Orr names have been retained.
I too am pleased!
Can’t wait!
Hello Debbie. I don’t see any mention of a gym at this new recreation centre. Is there to be no gym?
Thanks Debbie
Hello Mary, There is no gym. In the artificial turf fieldhouse with running track, and a multi-use community space where many activities can happen(I.e. pickle ball, basketball, volleyball ball etc ) there will be a section where several pieces of gym equipment will be available.
